Last week, one of the moms that I babysit for, donated some flower seeds and little pots so the girls could plant flowers and watch them grow. We finally had a nice day where we could head outside and get those seeds planted. The girls really seemed to have fun with it and I hope they don't lose interest since it will take awhile for the plants to actually appear. Regardless, what a great thing for the girls to experience!

Digging out more dirt...
Now Olivia is concentrating on scooping out her dirt.
I showed Rachel and Olivia how small the flower seeds are that they are planting.
Olivia takes a turn watering her flowers after filling the pot with more dirt.
Oops...a little too much water!
And now we wait...

Amy - you never cease to amaze me! The teacher in you is always shining through! Who else would have had the patience to let 2 little 2 year old girls plant their own flowers seeds in cups in order to watch them grow? Only the pre-school teacher!!
Love you!
Mom
